Beginner Friendly Mountain Bikes

A fully rigid steel mountain bike that will become your ultimate go-to When Joe Breeze designed the original Thunder, his idea was to make a bike that had a geometry and components that allowed riders to explore the remote trails and hillsides of Northern California and beyond. That spirit lives on with the new Thunder. Still constructed with the soulful ride quality and durability of steel, the new frame boasts some major advancements to allow adventure riders to explore deep into the woods outside of town or on the other side of the world. - Fully-butted chromoly frame with tapered headtube, compatible with suspension forks up to 100mm - Boost-148 through-axle rear triangle allows for tires up to 29x2.95"/75mm - Field-serviceable external derailleur and brake routing - Internal dropper seatpost routing - Multi-mount bottle system in the front triangle to allow for installation of bottles and half-frame bags

The Bighorn pairs aggressive modern geometry and our lightest alloy frame to create a do-it-all hardtail that is ready to tame just about any trail. Redesigned with 29" wheels, the Bighorn is equipped to roll over obstacles with ease, while a RockShox suspension fork and disc brakes allow for confident descending and braking. - A6-SL super-butted alloy frame with smooth welds builds a frame that is strong and lightweight with a refined look - SunTour XCR 34 LO Coil suspension fork provides 130mm of travel - Shimano MT200 brakes with 180mm rotors - Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain - Boost 148x12 rear and 110x15 front hub spacing stiffens the Bighorn's chassis, creates stronger wheels, allows for shorter chainstays and larger chainring options. - Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.50" tubeless ready tires - Dropper post compatible

Lowside is the bike that gets you across town for a quick rip on singletrack, then over to the bar for a night out. Your BMX Bike All Grown Up Lowside is like the grownup version of the bike you rode when you were a kid and still had hopes and dreams and some semblance of ambition. It's just as happy riding singletrack as it is parked outside your favorite drinking establishment. Lowside is a single speed mountain bike. Singlespeeding has been a part of Surly's DNA since day one when we launched the 1x1 Rat Ride. After a lot of Homie Fall Fests and more feats of strength than we can recall, we decided to discontinue it a couple years back. Lowside picks up right where the 1x1 left off. "Some have dubbed the Lowside the ultimate pub cruiser." - Modern trail standards: dropper post compatibility, 44mm headtube, Gnot-Boost rear spacing, thru-axles - Compatibility with most mountain bike standards makes it the perfect parts bin bike (no rim brakes allowed though) - Spec'd in alternating years with 26 x 3" or 27.5 x 2.8" tires, the Lowside remains capable of running either option

If you’re feeling a little zesty on your next road tour, you won’t be ill-prepared for reroutes through the woods. The Bridge Club is designed to handle it all. - 100% Surly Chromoly frame, main triangle is double-butted; 1-1/8" threadless Chromoly fork - Rack, fender, and four sets of three-pack mounts - Disc brake-specific, single-position vertical rear dropout makes it less intimidating than other bikes in the category - Clearance for 700 x 47mm (with or without fenders) or 27.5 x 2.8" tires (27.5 x 2.6" with fenders)
